There's a local Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in this listing. It's 6 years old so add a 2 in front of the tel. #. The Veterans Benefit Administration is a continuing, no,
increasing, horror story--best to seek help from those who have gone before:

When you say you receive all your medical care through the VA I assume you have have a disability rating. That would make you eligible for the Foreign Medical Program (FMP) which the major private hospitals in San Jose participate in. A word of caution in case you are not familiar with the FMP program. It will only cover treatment for those specific things the VA has given you a disability rating for. For example you have a 60% rating for hearing loss. Treatment for that is covered but if you seek treatment for an eye infection that would not be covered.
There currently is no DAV chapter active in Costa Rica. There are 3 American Legion posts in the country. CR10 located in Escazu, CR12 located in Golfito and CR16 located in Goicochea. CR10 is the oldest, largest and most active of the three and has a very experienced Service Officer who can help you with any issues you may encounter with the VA. You might want to check out their website for an look at them
http://www.amlegioncr10.com. There is also a VFW post and a chapter of the Marine Corps League. If you have any question send me a PM and I will try to answer them for you. Thank you for your service to our country.
Thanks guys, solid info for sure. I am going to call the VA this week but we know how that shit goes. Irish, kind of sucks about only the things I am rated for being able to be treated. Was more hoping for routine type stuff as well but no biggie overall, as I will be shooting back to the states every 6-8 weeks or so anyway.

CH - jaja. Don't do much with the currencies, besides watching for confirmation on overall market direction, but FXE puts would have been easy money for sure the last year or so...
Thanks again guys, appreciate the help.
